Anybody want to handle a question I have about the above?  It has
never been clear to me what an expression like "a = b++ + b" 
evaluates to, i.e. would the right-hand addend be the value before 
or after the incrementation?  Is the answer to this compiler/machine
dependant?  (Mailing a response is probably preferable to posting.)
Thanks.
